This tiny, bleak and diamond-shaped constellation, not far on the sky from the Large Magellanic Cloud(LMC), is often overlooked. 这个小而黯淡、在天球上离大麦云不远的钻石状星座,常常被人小瞧了。
SN1987A is sited in the nearby Large Magellanic Cloud(LMC), a dwarf galaxy adjacent to our own Milky Way Galaxy. SN1987A位于邻近的大麦哲伦星云,一个毗连我们银河系的矮星系。
The new observations not only tell us what elements are being recycled into the Large Magellanic Cloud(LMC), but how it changes its environment on human time scales. 新的观察结果不仅告诉我们什么元素正在循环进入大麦哲伦星云,而且告诉我们按人类的时标它如何改变自己的环境。
